PALOMAR STARLUX
Facial or body hair in excess of the cultural norm can be very distressing to some patients. The Palomar StarLux® System has been proven in clinical studies to perform as good or better than the single procedure "gold standard" lasers in permanent hair reduction.
PULSED LIGHT: HOW DOES IT WORK?
Pulses of filtered light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the hair follicles. Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers, but with a larger, smooth beam, and a long pulse for safe, fast, and comfortable treatments.
The LuxR safely and effectively removes hair on all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest, including tanned skin. Its large spot size allows you to quickly cover big areas like the back, legs, and chest.
The common areas treated include the axilla, bikini line, legs, and face in women, and the chest, back, shoulder, neck, and ears in men.
EXPECTED BENEFITS
Generally, the average number of hair removal treatments to achieve a significant reduction of excess hair is between five and seven treatments performed at 1 to 3 months intervals. Clinical improvement includes absolute hair number reduction, finer, lighter re-growing hair, and slower growth.
Will the Treatments Hurt?
Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a unique long pulse width that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time.
This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the person, the body part being treated, and how much of the hair is in the active phase of growth. Pulsed light treatments are most effective on hair in the anagen phase. Multiple treatments may be necessary for permanent removal of hair. Your treatment provider will be able to give you a better assessment after consultation.
